Chords

[Verse 1]
G                               F
I’d be riding horses if they'd let me

Am                                  G
Sleep outside at night and not take fright

G                                F
I would ride the range and never worry

Am                         G
I would disappear into the night
[Chorus]
F                 Am    G
Everybody needs an angel

F               Am          G
But here’s that devil by my side

F                          Am    G
Death’s head ring upon his finger

F        Am             G
Poor boy hanging on the light
[Verse 2]
G                                    F
They’ll be drawing straws inside the courtroom

Am                              G
As the sudden twilight turns to black

G                     F
Torches burn into the sad eyes

Am                       G
On the wrong side of the track
[Chorus]
F          Am                  G           
Make those horses jump through hoops of flame

F          Am                  G
They won’t kick and they won't scream

F       Am               G
Let the good lord do the driving

F        Am             G
Poor boy sinking in the stream
[Verse 3]
G                         F
I can smell the campfires burning

Am                            G
But I’ll go out walking on my own

G                                F
By day and night the world keeps turning

Am                                G
Frightened people hiding in their homes
[Chorus]
F                 Am    G
Everybody needs an angel

F               Am          G
But here’s that devil by my side

F                          Am  G
Death’s head ring upon his finger

F        Am             G
Poor boy hanging on the light
